- Create a Digital Dash in any car! How to make a digital dash with Realdash and OBD2 link.
Creating your own non permanent in car digital dash is easy, hopefully this shows you how easy that is and how cheaply you can make a digital navigation and dash set up in your own vehicle.
Using realdash, however you can equally use Torque or Torque Pro, or even any other OBD scanning app on your tablet, however I prefer Realdash as it has some really stylish looking dashboards to suit any car or use.
Any questions on how I got this in car digital dash setup to work in my car just write in the comments section and I'll try and help. Hopefully you find this an easy way for an interesting car interior mod for a digital speedo.
putting a tablet in your car has never been easier or more fun! - Auta a dopravní prostředky
It looks a little delayed
Best Video for a digital dash I've seen on CZcams!
Thank you so much!!! I just hope to inspire or help people :)
@@foehammer2003 What dash model is it? Where did you get it? Do you have a link .... I was looking for something similar for my car, thank you!
I also have a Hyundai coupe! 😁 SIII
So this is a perfect example of how it would look in my car
nice video! i love it!
How cool thanks for sharing. Do you work on any more of this digital project for cars ?
This is sooo cool! Thank you for sharing! 👍👍👍👍👍
Yeah it was really fun to use to be fair, the ECU was a bit slow and gave a delay but in other cars it's been on point!
thanks so much works great just now need a bigger tablet
Top stuff, some Great ideas there.
Thanks
Glad it's inspired you mate :)
you should conect the odb adapter via usb cable so the data transfer is faster and the displaying in realtime
How bro?
@@xxkaiserxx2505 the odb adapter must be a usb compatible
How much better it actually is via USB? Will it charge the iPad at same time you think?
Thank you for the information
The dash is slow as a turtle.
I didn't know that into read u comment
@@redouanekider2001 I had a stroke reading urs bud
@@redouanekider2001 the indicatorr is lag,it's not accurate
The dash in AutoZen is definitely better!
Hello, could you explain or send me the macroid configuration to adapt it to realdash so that the tablet turns on when the contact is made? I never used this program and I can't do it, thank you very much, very good job
What I most want to display is oil pressure. But I don't think this data is available from the OBD socket? What do you know on this issue. Great video thank you.
Nice video! Can you let me know the name of your unlocked dashboard? Also how do you get the navigation upon swiping left? Customisation is a little cumbersome.
In my Audi A4 B8 I replaced the original screen with aftermarket android one and I can Torque Pro real dash etc CZcams, Showbox, Instagram spotify (you get the picture) from the head unit. You would be better off getting one for your coupe, tablets like that police will have a field day even if you aren't touching it. My head unit reverts back to stock if I touch a button lol. XD I like the concept tho bro I'm gonna try real dash. I've been using torque so far.
Nice video bro, how to make the tablet to stay always open with the realdash and not leave the app? And what other settings do you use in your tablet?
Excuse how do you make the tablet turn on when it receives the charge please
Are you aware of any gauge apps that will work on CarPlay so I can do it without an extra tablet?
Splitscreen possible? Other kind of data visualisation possible? Great work
I have 8.4" screen in my Jeep Compass with 2.0 litre Diesel engine with manual transmission. Can you help me set up ? Thanks. SK
Can be used in a windows 10 laptop ? I have small laptop can be separated by the keyboard and made a touchscreen tablet I wish to use in car
So when you plug the device in , and Bluetooth it to the tablet ... will it all be set ?
how the tablet on with the opening ceremony
automatically when you start your ignition key?
Nice work
My car doesn't have obd port even though its fuel injected any help ty
Hi Bro, nice video, how better Is the app real dash?
How can you make the indicators and warning lights work?
Can you see your gas tank level? I got the free version and it does not display my gas tank just stuck at 0 or none
hi, can you share the 3 macros?
Nice setup! Try to enable the 'Multipid support' from connection settings to get faster update on RealDash.
Thanks! :) I'll try that!
How do you that?
How to connect the tab to audio system?
Can you also use the music player?
I have yet to see any one of these with Tachometer that doesnt lag
Uuuummm ... uuuuuummmm ..... uuumm .... u gots work on that man... I couldn’t finish the video..
How can I install it in my filder Toyota modal 2006
Thank you so much ! Now i have a smartphone in my car,just for fuel consumption.
Its a really useful tool! Glad it's helped :)
@@foehammer2003 which dash are you using
@@twistedsocal Realdash, not sure which premium dash it is, I'll check when I'm next in the car.
@@foehammer2003 thanks, I have been messing with making a full dash replacement for my zx10r, got a pi with odb2 and rs485 plus canbus hat and have an arduino with the same. It's all set up on a 5 inch display using spi so no extra cables or connections. Plan on getting it all working near real time with the bt adapter just supplementing telemetry data for my zetronix logbox and wideband
@FoeHammer Gaming will this work for bmw ? My dash doesn’t work at all so thinking about buying a tablet and the obd reader like you please let me know!!!
Is possible to use dash and navigation in the same time?
is this the new mustang speed dashboard?
How change the napko logo at started realdadh app?
its just nice to see a hyundai tiburon on youtube I DEMAND TO REMAKE THE HUYNDAI TIBURON AND MAKE IT REAR WHEEL DRIVE
FOR THE TIBURON OWNERS IM ONE TO I HAVE 3 TIBURONS ITS JUST NICE TO SEE IT [its better then a prius and looks better than it]
Yep, such an underated car and still looks amazing!
Hi nice video. What name this theme u use?
how was the logo car chosen thanks
Great video! Can you please explain how you managed to get your logo to appear on boot-up? I can see where to upload a file under 'application' but my jpeg doesn't appear. Do I need a different file type? Any help would be appreciated - thank you.
RIP
It's probably the ECU that has a slow refresh rate. Your main dash gauges will have independent high speed connections whereas the signals for everything else are just for monitoring and warning lights probably so don't need to be as high speed.
Quick question - Can you connect to get Bluetooth device while using the dash or can it only do one at a time?
It's most likely the obc2 unit itself. Because you're using a bluetooth (network connection), it likely cannot send all the events with data at a rate of like 10hz. It's probably throttling down the sending of events to around 1hz because that's all the network can handle. an obd2 unit with usb support would fix this issue if your ECU is not the problem
Nice work! Can you add an oil level, oil pressure, fuel pressure and coolant temp gauge and battery voltage gauge to the display?
Thanks! You can, it depends on both your ECU and the theme on the Realdash you choose or purchase supporting those gauges. You can customise your own though fairly easily once you get the hang on the editing layout.
Can I use Fixd adaptor?
insta like for the cat in the way
Its amazing but its a bit slow recognition i see when u press the gass it shows first in your oem dash then after 1sec or so transfered to the digital dash
Also can it be fitted permanently ? Im swapping my car engine putting an aim custom ecu but the aim display is so small 6inch only i want to use the tablet like u did but the info is a bit slow to show is there a reason why?
the reason is due to latency. this latency is between the obd plug and the device, and then the app updating this information on the screen. this combination creates a second or so lag which is ok for general gauges and maybe even mph, but certainly not rpm
does it show fuel level??
Looks like there’s a little lag between the reader and the tablet. Do you know of a way to have it wired for power and the OBD port so there’s no latency?
It's the obd port he probably bought a cheap one don't do that for this app best route is for an expensive one!
@@marcoruiz4243 I agree. You want to know real time :) that’s why I don’t want to use Bluetooth. It’s ok for reading codes and just checking on things but not to rely on all the time
@@kool-aidsphuckery9596 exactly. Happy to help clear some issue that i saw as well with the video
I set up something a while ago just using the free version of Torque. There was very little perceptible lag.
Either your app is the problem or your bluetooth dongle.
Its the app
What is you connected your ecu with your tablet through a cable
Would the respons of arp for exaple be instant?
Nop
Hello
How to add my car logo and delete the logo of the app
You do Not have to stick the Metal Disc's, i put mine inside the back cover and just as strong
Do you know if you can get a wired OBD2 connection set up. The Bluetooth aspect will always cause a delay. If you look at the Insight CTS3 digital dash it connects straight to the OBD2 port and works seamlessly providing accurate revs/speed info.
App only work with wifi or bluetooth
Which is the app?? Is it payable
Does the OBD adapter switch off and on automatically with ignition? or does it do a parasitic power draw when off?
Obd2 isn't powered when the key is off.
depends on the car, remember to check it!!
Hi thanks for the video
I noticed that your tablet doesn't show Samsung on start up. It went straight to your splash screen. How did u do that?
yeahh... it automatically straight to the realdash apps wit the opening ceremony,... how did u do sir??
How do you power your tablet? Is it directly hardwired? Have you removed the battery?
Hi, it's discretely tucked out of the way to the cigarette lighter socket, so charges only when ignition is on in this car, some cars supply power all the time though. Battery on that tablet would last a week between charges if not in use. Hope that helps :)
@@foehammer2003 Thanks for your answer.
I have a 2004 Nissan super safari or (2004 Nissan y61) and when I load into the app after connecting it to the OBD2 link lx it says checking PID then unable to connect, anyone can help me?
Did u find a solution?
How did I just now find this out
I love that theme can you give it to me
How did you manage to open the app directly when you turned on the ignition? Can you please explain
Macrodroid app
@@siddhantpandey2713 how is that ? I can not , the steps please
I hope mines don't lag when I get one of those scanner👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Hopefully your ECU is a bit faster, that's what slowed it down I think.
Bonjour comment faire pour que la tablette s'allume toute seul , en mettant le contact de la voiture ?
bonjour,
je pense avec macrodroide il a dû créer un scénario lorsque l’obd envoie le signal à la tablette elle sort de veille et lance l’app qui affiche les infos véhicule.
So realdash don’t really replace your gauges
Very cool. That lag though, i think i might have Lag-DD bc I can't handle having any delay.. but hey, when driving, the time it takes for your eyes off the road to look at the screen prob. makes up for the delay
Yeah I found the delay was a combination of slow ECU reporting and natural Bluetooth delay. Mostly the ECU. It was more of a cool project that gave a bit of wow factor to the dash for a fairly basic dash.
Will this work on a carbureted engine?
Not really, even if your car has ecu its usually for ignition timing and it doesn't get much other input for your obd reader to see
Hi, Dont the tablet battery get drained if the car stands still for a week or so?
Is there a way to make the tablet shut of completely when power of? And turn back again the next tine it gets power?
Hi, if the car was stood for a week possibly, the Samsung tablet I used would last 4 or 5 days on standby. You can make the tablet turn off fully but you have to root your tablet, but you'd have to turn it on manually. I drive daily, or every other day at the very least, so not an issue for me.
@@foehammer2003 Thanks for the reply!
I see... thats what I thought. I would love to have something like this in my project car, but as its not my daily it is a pain in the ass to keep the tablet powered all the time... :(
@@eiksaa8737 Why dont you just make it charge everytime you turn the ignition on
that way it's using your cars battery
@@Desynccc It does charge as long as the ignition is on, but I the car is not used for a week or 2 the tablet drains completely and shuts off. and then the next time Im starting up I have to turn on the ignition and wait several minutes for the tablet to get enough power to boot. thats what annoys me..
@@eiksaa8737 Why don't you daily drive it then? or make it shut off completely
Does this dash app allow you to change or input tire size so the apps speedometer speed is accurate ?
Yes
Can u tune ur car using this app if yes teach me master. If not what app can do it. Or change ecu performance
thats no good... its got lag
any chance you can make a macrodroid video or explain how to turn on and off with key power? have tried and tried.. i'm doing something wrong or my tab E won't take the macro???
Did you figure this out? I'm trying to get mine to turn on with the key too.
Wish I got a tenner for every time you say “errrrm”
Haha not as much as I wish I had a quid for every clever comment I got 😉🤣
Hello, can you share a skin?
I wish OBD was faster. So many cool things that you can get out of the ECU. But that refresh rate on the gauges is horrible. There is no way you would be able to use that as your primary gauge cluster with the RPM's only updating once a second!
Yeah I did what the developer said with multi pid request and is much better now!
FoeHammer Gaming can you do an update video
@@foehammer2003 - What is 'multi pid request' please?
what is the brand of your green OBD2 adaptor ? thanks
It's a OBDLink LX 🙂
@@foehammer2003 can you use the mx?
@@jaydennguyen0721 yes the MX will work exactly the same, the MX just has better integration for Ford and GM cars above the LX, hope that helps
@@foehammer2003 the lx is also the fastest of the bluetooth adapters
How do you get rid off the stupid challenger in the garage can it be changed?
I don't think it can! But I know what you mean.
@@foehammer2003 well is there any possible way I can get your custom dash lol its amazing lol
How did you connected your ScanTool OBDLink LX Bluetooth? What "Source" did you choose in the "Garage"? I try OBD2 and Link ECU, and non of them connected. Can you please tell me about your RealDash connection.
I finally found out on how to connected it. With OBDLink you select OBD2. If you are using Link ECU, you also need
to configure your ECU to send the data to OBD2 port.
@@franciscodima8740 I'm going to do the same with my G4+. How is the delay?
hello nice video ,what theme is this ?
thanks

Bonjour, est-ce que l'application fonctionne en WIFI? Merci

how do you get the app to boot as soon as the tablet is on? Thanks
ah Macdroid macro. Thanks lol
You got it 😉
How to??
Please reply plss
@@Pashtoonstudio as above, use macdroid 🙂
Which programm i need to download please?

Is your device rooted I'm having trouble getting app to shutdown after not charging because macro Droid says device isn't rooted I have accessibilitys turned on I'm using a Samsung 10.1 2014 edition
Hey, well I'm using a different set up now, however at the time my tablet wasn't rooted. It may be that Android has changed some access features that now need a rooted device for the app to gain the same functionality as it used to. I cant remember specifically but is there not a work around across you can set to mimic similar functionality? If not then rooting may be your only option. If the tablet is purely for car use like mine was then it shouldn't matter too much, but that's up to you. Hope that in some way helps!
@@foehammer2003 yes thank I figured it out to just shut the screen off but keep the app running then key on turns screen on again but app is always running thats the only way I could get it with out rooting
It use intoyota yaris
How did you get the tablet to goto real fast on wake?
Nevermind lol
@@JB-dv2tt haha glad you got it mate, yeah macrodroid ;)

Boa tarde amigo só agora é que eu estou eu não tinha visto para obter essa tela primeiro como é que eu faço me responde se faz favor
essa tela e um tablet que se conecta via bluetooth com o aparelho de OBD (aparelho verde que ele coloca perto do volante) depois voce tem de baixar um aplicacao de dashboard no tablet
Use obd wifi no delay😉
Which obd2 wifi adapter works?
Does it show gas gauge?
If your ECU supports it then yep it will. Most ECUs will support fuel level :)
Is there a big delay ??
Yeah it shows
has to do with the Bluetooth data transfer rate. if it were wired in it would update almost instantly
Leaving Bluetooth OBD permanently in socket leaves vehicle vulnerable to hacking and easy to steal the vehicle.
That’s why you get a manual because most people can’t drive them😅
@@Supernick13 in Europe everyone can
And that's the nice part about having a car that requires a key to open it because the auto lock feature is broken. Also you can get a wheel lock to make sure no one is going to steal your car.
how did you get the speedo to work? gps?
It's reading it straight from the ECU with an OBD scanner

How to add Cruise Control
can it be done with an iphone
Hi, yes it can, you'll need a WiFi obd scanner for iPhone instead of a Bluetooth one. They cost around the same. Then you'll need a app like Real Dash, unfortunately I don't use iPhone so I'm unsure what's available on the store.
@@foehammer2003 You can use a Bluetooth adapter on iOS. I use an OBDLink MX+ and it works great.

@@foehammer2003 will this work for bmw ? My dash doesn’t work at all so thinking about buying a tablet and the obd reader like you please let me know!!!
And why does anyone need two speedometers in one vehicle?
it shows other gauges...
You're right, adding a tablet is more of a want 1) as it adds a cool, high tech modern look 2) provides more vehicle information 3) is customizable 4) also incorporates navigation & music (plus video, internet, games etc... when parked). Seems like a lot of good reasons though.
Either it's there to make it look cool or just a heads up display so you won't need to look down on the cluster guage.
subscription only one or every month ?
Just a one off payment :)
FoeHammer Gaming thank you
Is it possible for this to work with Land Rover?
If your land rover has a OBD port then yes!
